Originally from New Orleans, Anna came to USC for graduate school and loved South Carolina so much that she decided to stay!  At the Honors College, Anna advises business and journalism students and leads our cultural programming.  Complementing to her role at the Honors College, Anna is an internationally exhibited visual artist whose work is held in numerous private and public collections.  She is currently collaborating on an interdisciplinary project addressing identity and displacement.

When she's not on the Horseshoe, in the studio, or at her retreat in the South Carolina Lowcountry, Anna stays active in the Columbia community.  She is a founding officer of the board of directors of the 701 Center for Contemporary Art and past president of the board of directors of the Columbia Design League. Most recently, she has served as a member of the advisory boards of Slow Food Columbia and the Columbia Design League, and as an officer of the Historic Melrose Association. In her free time she enjoys hiking, good cheese, restoring old houses and honoring her hometown as an ambassador of joie de vivre.
